Greetings!
I have been trying many of the Todo, Task Manager, Project-Manager Lite applications such as Omnifocus, Todoist, Nozbe, IQTell, and others and had settled on Todoist for most of my things, except that now I am getting into having to manage multiple projects with dependencies and am finding those programs are having to flex a bit too much. I cam across MLO and decided to try it out.
The main difficulty I'm running up against, is that all the current documentation seems to be for a previous version, or at least a version that looks nothing like mine (I'm running MLO on my iPad). There are only 3 or 4 videos on the iPad and they don't cover anything about projects.
I have managed to create a hierarchy by simply creating a string of tasks and dragging/dropping them into levels on top of each others. I have a Main project level that's composed of two sub levels and those have two tasks associated with them:
Main Project
--Task 1
----Sub task 1
----Sub task 2
--Task 2
----Sub task 1
----Sub task 2
I have gone to the Main Project line, and in the properties pane I found Project...I tripped the switched there under "Is Project" and set a status of "In Progress" and saved.
Yet, when I tap on the Projects line under the "Outline" section at the left, nothing shows up at all.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks.

I've tested this on my installation (Windows) and it works correctly.
What appears in the Project view on Outline can be changed by editing the filter at the bottom of the column. It could be that you have accidentally applied a filter (the most likely culprit would be the context items but also check the general section.

Just to check - are your projects tagged as projects in their properties?
